Coppa Campioni d'Italia

The Coppa Campioni d'Italia is the trophy that in the Italian football represents the victory of the Serie A championship.

The trophy was created in 1960 by sculptor and medalist Ettore Calvelli; has a height of 45 cm around and weighs about 5 kg, rests on a stone base hard blue sodalite and has at its center a ring gold depicting an allegory of athletes. The Cup has a value of about 60000 euro and bears engraved on golden base, the names of all the teams that have won the top division since the season 1960–61.

For a long time, the trophy was handed over to the winning club in the seat of Lega Serie A with a private ceremony, and for this reason was a cup little known to the fans.

Since the season 2004-2005, conforming to what is already happening in the major foreign championships, the winning team of the Serie A receives the cup and gold medals of Italy champions directly on the pitch, immediately after the last game of the season (or, in case of success anticipated, last home game, if the final round then plans for the club a transfer).

The first team to be awarded the Coppa Campioni d'Italia was in 1961 Juventus, the same club as in 2005 received the trophy for the first time on the field.

The original trophy remains in property of the Lega Serie A and is only taken into custody by the club defending champion; upon return, the club receives a reduced-scale reproduction to display in his own showcase.
